Let’s chat shoulder stability 🏋️‍♂️💪

So recently I got asked on my story, my go-to exercise for maintaining shoulder stability?

Bands are my favourite! They’re perfect for hitting those shoulders from all angles - front, sides, and especially the rear delts. 💥

Many people think shoulders are just about the front, but that rounded, sculpted look? It’s all about balance and hitting those rear delts and sides too. Trust me, the bands add that resistance and versatility that make all the difference. 🌟

What’s your go-to for shoulder stability?

Growing up, we’re often taught not to compare ourselves to others, that we’re unique and special in our own ways. 💕

So imagine living and breathing a sport where comparison is the norm, where being the ‘best’ on stage for a mere 20 minutes means everything. 🏋️‍♂️

Even when you win thoughts come up- Did I truly face the best competition today? How can I improve further? 💭

Some days having tunnel vision can be hard. Some find motivation in social media, some find it distracting 🙇🏼‍♀️ It’s important to work out which one you are and what is a healthy headspace for you 🧘‍♀️

For me, this sport isn’t just a hobby; it’s part of being me, and has been my therapy through tough times. But in this journey, I’ve learnt the power of a tight-knit crew and silent dedication is key. 🤫💪

“She doesn’t eat out” 🙄

While I don’t eat out regularly- I do love to enjoy a meal out 🌟

My weekdays are a hustle, and I love to stay on track and stay disciplined during the week. I generally have an off the plan meal over the weekend 😉

When I do dine out, I always opt for healthier choices– lean meats, grilled foods, veggies, and yes, a sprinkle of sushi and burgers! 🥗🍣🍔

For me, its finding that happy balance 😍

What’s your fav when eating out ?

“Why am I bothering with this?” 🙊

Ever asked yourself this? I think it’s safe to say, we all do at some point in time, some more than others.

The important thing to remind ourselves of is why we started and to keep moving towards our goals and believing in ourselves.

How? By a little self love and kindness 🫶🏼

This may involve different things for different people, but for me ….

- Disconnecting from social media for a couple days 🤳🏽
- Talking to my close circle of friends/family
- Take time to look back at recent photos/achievements
- Resting 😴
- Eating nourishing food

What keeps you moving forward? 👇🏼

Building muscle?🏋️‍♂️💪

Focus on these 4 crucial elements:

1️⃣ Resistance Training: Challenge your muscles with the right workouts.
2️⃣ Calorie Surplus: Fuel your gains with a surplus of calories.
3️⃣ Increased Protein: Ensure ample protein for muscle repair and growth.
4️⃣ Recovery Time: Let your body rest and recover for optimal results.

Consistency is key! 🔥
